        I knew you've been protesting too much.
        "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

          Bernie's authoritarian outlook appeals to the angry Mormons. He's just Trump in a nice old man facade and he hasn't had any divorces.

              Bernie is much less authoritarian on civil liberties than Trump is. But of course he wants the government heavily involved in regulating the economy.

                  He wouldn't be able to get that stuff through congress anyway unless you think there will be masssive turnover in congress this election, which doesn't appear to be the case. The party that has an outgoing president rarely gains in the congress, but who knows. Assuming he can't get a favorable congress then Bernie is actually better from a libertarian point of view because he would veto most of the civil liberties "big brother" type legislation that congress might try to push through (domestic spying, etc.) I don't want Bernie as president, but Trump would be worse because he'd be more likely to get his crappy ideas passed.

                      Someone didn't read the article.

                      Mormons aren't angry.

                        SU would like Trump a lot less if he didn't know mormons can't stand him.

                          We're going to have universal health care. It's going to be great. I can't tell you how it will be different or better than obama care, but trust me, it will be way better. Obama care is the worst. This will be way better and everyone will like it.

                          Tell me how Trump isn't a lot like Bernie on socialism, who basically says the same thing on healthcare without bashing Obama.

                            For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
